About Leib

Leib 'Liam' Goldman is an AASW-accredited social worker who blends practical therapy with a relaxed, down-to-earth style. He makes space for people to talk about what matters most and helps them take small, steady steps forward. Liam writes and speaks plainly, so sessions aim to be direct and easy to follow.

He draws on approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and trauma-informed care. Liam uses these tools to help with anxiety, depression, stress and eating and food-related issues among other concerns. He focuses on building skills, processing difficult experiences and finding ways to manage everyday life.

Clients meet a counsellor who listens without judgement and emphasises personal strengths. Sessions are paced to the individual, with an emphasis on practical strategies. Liam also brings humour and warmth to make difficult topics feel more manageable.

With three years' experience, Liam has worked alongside people with a range of mental health challenges. He supports those navigating grief, relationship strain, identity concerns and life transitions. He also helps people with body image, self-esteem and coping with change.

People who choose to work with Liam can expect a collaborative approach. He helps clients set clear goals and selects methods that fit those goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to his availability.

How Liam's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take actions that match their values. It often suits people dealing with life changes, purpose concerns or ongoing anxiety. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour to develop practical skills for mood and stress management, and is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Liam will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time as needs change, so sessions can shift between skill-building and deeper processing as required.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, behavioural tasks and homework tools between sessions to support steady progress.
